So, anyone up for a little game?
Sir I. was playing this phonics game, which involves him making and reading nonsense words. The first word he made was “prete”, which sounded to me like it should mean “prattling moralistically”. Sir I. thought it sounded like a large orange-and-yellow fruit. His next word was “fleash”. Sounds like something a zombie would want, “Fleash! I need fleash!”.
Want to help me come up with definitions for the following “words”?
- splipe
- frube
- zond
- yame
- stuke
I’m coming up blank, but still working on it.
It’s like a game of… oh, what is that game where you have to pick the right definition out of a bunch of improbable ones?
Except there are no right definitions here.
I keep thinking I can come up with something for yame, but I keep getting across between dame and yammer and there I’m stuck. :head in hands: For a girl as into linguistics as I am, you’d think it’d be a piece of cake!
yame – to while(sp?) time by telling yarns.
There. I did it.
You did! *confetti*
To stuke: duh, means to clean the trough behind the dairy cows after milking. Obvious!
Oh, no no no. A stuke is a woodwind instrument played by the native peoples of the Amazon rainforest.
You must’ve been thinking of another word, like shruke.
Thanks for stopping by and playing.
